Don't know what he had. I had my mouse ready to pounce until DJVEGAS went all in. I came in 3rd as I'm trying to improve my 4th place finishes. I just couldn't imagine my AJ being good at this point based on how he was playing.

Are you *really* asking whether to fold AJ to a raise AND an all-in re-raise? Especially when there's a chance you can get ITM just by folding it (if the original raiser calls and loses). This is a super easy fold even if your stack is very low.

I know what your saying. I've recently realized that I go out on the bubble too often and am working on it. There was a time when I would have called

At the stage you're at (You guys are talking about being OTB and gettin in the money... But, I think there's 5 people in, not 4... Not like that matters TOO much... I just like busting balls... )... I think that's an easy push if the Big Stack doesn't get involved... You don't have many chips left, the blinds are gonna eat you up, and you probably won't get a better hand or chance to double up...

BUT............. When the big stack grows balls, GO AWAY...!!!!!!! I don't care if I got pocket 10s there... I'm folding... Chances are, the origional raiser had a medium-low PP, the Big Stack had a Big ace... Even if you were in the lead, you're gonna have to avoid A LOT of cards to survive...

Read it as 4 people left for some reason, thanks for pointing that out MVP. It's still a fold though.

I wouldn't mind being the first one all-in with AJs in that situation but I don't like to call with it. Good fold.

Oh absolutely, with <BB I am *going* all-in with AJ every time, and I'm probably calling a LP all-in with it too 5-handed. But not a raise and an all-in.
